Backseat Rider - Sara Kays

You lived down the block

We met for the first time

At the bus stop

We sat side-by-side

Thirty from the back

We talked the whole ride

Six years later you buy your first car

And you told me to wait outside

And you pulled up and somebody else was sitting in the passenger side

So I sat in the backseat it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of movies I've never seen

I realized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

Maybe it's my fault

Spent summer break away

And forgot to call

But maybe you forgot

Around this time last summer

We sat in the parking lot

And you told me when you got your first car

That you and I would go for a drive

But now we're here and somebody else is sitting in the passenger side

So I sat in the backseat it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of movies I've never seen

I realized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow

You dropped me off at home said you'll see me tomorrow

And I sit in the backseat it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of movies I've never seen

I realized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow

You dropped me off at home said you'll see me tomorrow
